An autopsy has identified the remains found last week by a property owner concerned because another body had been found near his land.

Skeletal remains found Thursday near the 2100 block of Columbia were identified today as Selese Goss, 45, Indianapolis. The cause of death as well as the manner are pending the results of toxicology and anthropology studies, Deputy Marion County Coroner Alfarena Ballew said in a written statement.

There was no missing persons report on file for Goss, said Officer Chris Wilburn, spokesman for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

Bob Chambers, who owns the vacant lot abutting the alley off Columbia Avenue, found the skull and bone Thursday. He said he stopped by because he had heard about the first body, found three days earlier.

Chambers said last week that he was certain the skull was not there on Memorial Day because he was there to mow the grass that day and had noticed a discarded mattress. Thursday, next to the mattress on a carpet pad, lay the skull and a burned, long bone.

On Memorial Day, there were plastic bags and other debris present but no skull, he said.

The decomposed body found June 2 in an alley near a vacant lot in the 2000 block of Columbia was identified last week as Loy E. Ofsthun, 56, Indianapolis. There also has not been a determination of how, when or why she died.
